Born into a traditional Welsh valley community, Paul Murphy has
been a member of the Labour Party for more than 55 years. In this
book, he describes how the socialist beliefs of that community, and
of his parents especially, helped to develop his own very early
political consciousness. After three years studying at Oxford, and
alongside work as a lecturer in History and Government, he went on
to serve on his local council before succeeding Leo Abse in 1987 as
MP for his home constituency Torfaen. His time in government from
1997 onwards included seven years as Secretary of State for Wales
and for Northern Ireland, in the Cabinets of Tony Blair and Gordon
Brown, and the book provides unique insights into Murphy's leading
role at times of major constitutional change, including the pivotal
part he played as Northern Ireland Minister under Mo Mowlam in
negotiating the Good Friday Agreement. - 'During the weeks leading
up to the referendum, I travelled the length and breadth of
Northern Ireland talking to local and regional newspapers, and
presenting the case for a 'Yes' vote.' Read an extract of Paul
Murphy's autobiography here -
